Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to evaluate airway tissue availability of budesonide via Symbicort Turbuhaler and fluticasone via Seretide Diskus in severe COPD patients and healthy volunteers, using area under the curve (AUC) of the plasma concentrations of the steroid components as surrogate marker.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    In addition to the primary objective there is a number of planned exploratory analyses:
    - to investigate the amount of fluticasone and budesonide (% of delivered dose)
    spontaneously expectorated in sputum.
    - to investigate correlation between weight of spontaneously expectorated sputum
    and AUC for budesonide and fluticasone.
    - to investigate correlation between baseline lung function in COPD patients and
    AUC for plasma concentrations of budesonide and fluticasone
